Great. I would like to know how much more of OUR money is stashed away. Time to clean up the mess in Sacramento.

First Domino to fall:
It appears someone did a little digging into the CA State CAFR report.
Now it is time to turn the same rocks over for all cities; county; state; enterprise; school district; and state university accounts.
For the CA State Parks it was 54-million. All local government operations (tens of thousands of operations) it is a few trillion.
The department head resigned and the assistant fired. What gondolas were intentionally ignored? The state attorney who dotted the "Is" and crossed the "Ts" setting up the hidden funding account for them in the first place (Emphasis added)
Every one of these stash accounts is signed off on by the city; county; of state attorney.. The true fraud begins there, and usually the same is checked off on by a local judge. (Again, Emphasis added) Attorneys running the show, the employee(s) following their instructions but then the employee getting the axe as the scape goat...
Per these types of situations: If "true" accountability came to play: Black robs and their cooperative suited shill attorneys should be forced dressed into orange jump suits, and locked in an eight by ten cell for a very long time...
Have your local Sheriff investigate and arrest the true responsible party for the fraud involved. The attorneys and judges who structured and then signed off on it all.

Look carefully at the notes to the financial section of your local Gov CAFRs to spot those millions or billions of dollar in advance forward liability investment stash accounts.
The way to use Google to find your local government's CAFR reports is put in the search line using quotes as an example: "City of X" "Annual Financial Report"
Do the same for your county, city, state, school district, state university, etc..
Here is a VERY important note for you. When you look at the financial columns it is a "Net" showing. Many games can be played there. For examples sake I will use the following:
If you and I had 1-billion dollars. If we set aside 700-million to buy an island 5-years from now (designated liability) our NET available is 300-million. If we then ran up projected expenses for the year of 320-million, then our net position "promoted today" is 20-million in the red (deficit)
On the City; County; and State level more money changes hands than Midas ever dreamed about. The public gets masterfully entertained in left field as the attorneys cut the deals behind closed doors in right field building their next financial power base and personal fortunes at the public's expense.
Get together with a few friends and carefully examine you local government's CAFRs today! You will be amazed (and furious) at what you find of how a profit is converted into a liability.

How much more is hidden? Easy: California's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for 2011 shows $577 BILLION in taxpayer surpluses when the accounts are added. Search this Internet article title for full documentation and page numbers to see for yourself:
CAFR summary: why can't a $600B ‘fund’ fund $27B pension, $16B budget deficit?
Walter Burien is the pioneer to expose CAFR surpluses and Clint Richardson did the work to fully document the $577 billion.

No excusses not to look:
To view and review the California State Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports from 1999 to 2011 go to:
http://www.sco.ca.gov/ard_state_cafr.html
To review your local government City; County; School District; enterprise; Community College; State University; or Government Pension fund CAFR just Google them. Put in the search line using quotes as an example for a city: "City of X" "Annual Financial Report"

For those who have a sharp mind and the ability for cognitive thinking to learn quickly, a retired federal auditor of 30-years, Gerald Klatt at my prompt in 2000 put up a website to show CAFR reviews that highlighted government surpluses.
From his front page http://cafrman.com/ on the left he has listed CAFR reviews of most States. His reviews stop at 2003 being that he died mysteriously in July of 2004. The reviews are valid today being that they are a line-item guide that can be used for 2012.
Gerald points out "true" surpluses and for CA on the State level notes 59.83-billion dollars. http://cafrman.com/Articles/Art-CA-S1.htm
A false misconception has been floating around the internet that CA on the State level has 600-billion in surplus taxation held. This is NOT true. Yes they have in excess of 600-billion of investments but a truthful independent audit of the same could determine what was true surplus and what was truly needed to fund needed programs / projects.
My estimate is that 30$ to 40% is strictly, and would be determined as "Fat Cat Stashes".
It is very important to note: "This is just on the State level". Local government operations "in" California (thousands of entities) each have their own holdings separate from the state.
Collectively totals there are in excess of 8-trillion dollars. A complete and "honest" audit there is needed.

Clint Richardson does a pretty good job of listing just on the California "state level" the different primary investment funds as of 2012 - http://realitybloger.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/california-government-hides-billions-from-taxpayers/
